A visit to the Squire Boone Caverns offers a prehistoric look at the underground.

Located in Mauckport, Indiana the Squire Boone Caverns offer visitors a variety of fun things to do.

The underground area just got better as two new outdoor adventures have been added for visitors. The interesting Squire's Lantern tour leads groups through the darkness, guided by the soft light of lanterns. Guides tell the tales of Squire and Daniel Boone's cavern discovery. Once visitors reach the dead end of the cavern, the lights come on illuminating the interior and giving visitors a different experience as they make their way out of the cavern. You wll also find plenty of daytime tours.
